Start Jamming...
[D] I come and [Am] stand at [Em] [D] every door, but no [Em] one hears [C] my [G] [D] silent tread.
I [G] nah [A] and yet remain
[D] unseen, [Em] for I am dead, [C] for I [D] am dead.
I'm [Em] only seven, [C] although [D] I died in [Em] Hiroshima [C] [D] long ago.
[G] I'm seven [A] now, as I [D] was then.
[Em] When children die, [C] they do [D] not grow.
My hair [E] was scorched [C] by [D] swirling flame.
My eyes [Em] grew dim, [C] my eyes [D] grew blind.
Death [G]
came [Em] and turned [A] my [Em]
bones [D] to dust, [E] and that was scattered [B] [C] by [D] the wind.
I need no [Em] fruit, [C] I need [G] no [D] rice, I need no [Am] sweets, nor [D] even bread.
I [G] ask for [A] nothing for [D] myself, [Em] for I am dead, [C] for [D] I am dead.
All that [Em] I ask [C] is [D] that for peace.
You fight [Em] today, [C] you fight [D] today.
[G] So that [A] the children [Em]
of [D] this world [Em] may live and grow [C] and laugh [D] and play.
